The minutes ofthe May 5 meeting were approved. No corrections were noted. The discussion of each member's projects followed beginning with Andy Stoody detailing his article on the history of the fire station. All those in attendance had favorable responses on the progress of their articles. Lila raised some questions on the organization of the pictures for Neal. He specified the importance of a cross reference and that care should be taken to avoid duplicate files. Lila discussed the numbering system she is currently using and Neal concurred. The flow ofthe chapters was also a concern for Lila. Neal stated that the organization of the chapters was inconsequential to him as a publisher however he made the following suggestions: The chapters need a logical progression. Core subjects must be addressed. Each chapter needs an introduction. The history of the library should be moved from the Education chapter to City Services. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations would be a good source for chapter format. Neal also noted that the chapters (in entirety) could be moved around at the end. The amount of pages per story, with the inclusion of pictures, was discussed next to get a general idea of the overall size of the book, thus far. Neal informed the committee that the specified cost ($45,000) covers 2000 copies of a 600 page book but it could accommodate 1500 copies of a 700 page book, if necessary. After some additional discussion on the organization of the chapters, Pat Fox made a motion to move the Library and the Parks and Recreation articles to the City Services chapter and re-order the chapters as follows: Chapter I Early History Chapter II Parent Communities Chapter III Incorporation and Beyond Chapter IV City Services Chapter V Education Chapter VI Churches Chapter VII Organizations Chapter VIII Special Events Chapter IX Features Chapter X Veterans Chapter XI Family Biographies Chapter XII Business Biographies Pat Jones made a second motion to re-order the chapters and move the Library and the Parks and Recreation articles to City Services.
